Now that it’s just six weeks before the great total solar eclipse on April 8, many are planning where they’ll be, within the 150-mile-wide path of totality. Going online shows the eclipse path, and you must simply make sure you don’t pick a spot near the edge of that ribbon, where the eclipse’s length will be short. Tune in to heart the best eclipse viewing spots!

    Absolute cold
    Bob Berman
    Statistically, the year’s coldest week is now nearly a month behind us. But it’s still darn cold, which, in this world full of gray areas, reminds us of a single absolute we can count on. That take-it-to-the-bank certainty is absolute zero. Hear what weird things occurred when temperatures drop too low.

    Valentine in the sky
    Bob Berman
    It’ll soon be Valentine’s Day, so what makes a great romantic gift? A book of poetry? A candlelight dinner? Excellent choices — but as a nightcap, there's nothing like a moonlight or starlit stroll. So if it's a very late date or if you and your beloved wake up just as morning twilight begins and gaze out an east facing window, the Morning Star will be totally, absolutely riveting, although very low. And look at that little orange star next to it — that’s Mars, as if the male and female aspects of the heavens are dancing.

    Radiation everywhere
    Bob Berman
    Radiation penetrates our bodies 24/7. Most is natural, with background cosmic ray doses proportional to your home’s elevation. These broken pieces of atoms zooming in from space, give you 30 millirems of annual radiation if you live near sea level, like in L.A. But you get much more if your home is up high. People in Denver get 80 millirems yearly.
